Who are we?

Cirque des Bêtes is a California based group of sexy beasts and circus freaks, creating individual and unique shows at conventions and spreading joyous organized chaos where ever they end up.

The initial group was a duo – formed by Nikolai de la Muerte & Eve Riot in 2012. They would attend conventions and shows as buskers and clowns making sure that all attendees were having a good time. They expanded their troupe in 2014 to include clowns, jugglers and flow artists of many different styles, when they realized they wanted to bring a more diverse show to friends and fans.

This group has a variety of flow artists, aerialists, and burlesque performers. Let them bamboozle you with contact juggling and fan flow. Let them tease you with a dance or two. Cringe while our contortionist ties herself into knots! When not on the ground this group is always attempting to achieve a higher plane of performance with their portable rig.

Enjoy a pleasant time of bad puns and fun stories with our troupe of clowns of a steampunk stripe!﻿
